an Italian Neocon

Disputed Questions. A Catholic Philosopher Argues for Relativism by Sandro Magister

It's Dario Antiseri. He explains his theses in the official magazine of the Catholic University of Milan. And he is criticizing, at bottom, Benedict XVI's positions on relativism, nihilism, and the natural law. In this article, it cites his affinity with American thinkers like Novak, Sirico and Neuhaus. Does this surprise anyone? It shouldn't considering this American camp of Whig Thomists have contradicted the last two Holy Fathers on many, many points.

For the redord, I think the use of the term "neocon" in the title, as well as grouping Antiseri together w. NWN (Novak, Weigel, Neuhaus) is somewhat misleading and an impediment to critical assessment of Antiseri's article and the person himself. I've explained why here.

That should be 'record'. =)
